P1100
ŚredniMass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor Malfunction – Incorrect Signal or Intermittent Reading. Manufacturer-specific code with different definitions depending on the vehicle make.
OBD-II (EN): Mass or Volume Air Flow Sensor Circuit Malfunction
Code P1100 is a manufacturer-specific error, most often indicating a malfunction of the mass air flow sensor (MAF) or – depending on the make – the intake manifold pressure sensor (MAP/BARO). Symptoms include power loss, increased fuel consumption, and unstable engine operation. Due to the different definitions of this code across various vehicle makes, professional diagnosis is recommended to correctly identify the source of the fault.
Symptoms
Check Engine Light (MIL) on the dashboard Decrease in engine power and worsened acceleration Increased fuel consumption Unstable engine idle (vibrations, jerking) Increased exhaust emissions Possible difficulty starting the engine In some models (Ford, Citroen, Peugeot): failure to complete OBD-II system readiness tests
Possible causes
Contaminated or faulty MAF sensor (mass air flow) Broken or damaged MAF sensor signal wire Poor electrical connections or corrosion at the sensor connector Leak in the intake air system (cracked hoses, leaking air filter) Damaged air filter causing MAF sensor contamination Intermittent MAF sensor signal caused by vibrations or temperature In Toyota/Lexus/Scion models: fault in the barometric pressure sensor (BARO) In Hyundai models: short circuit in the MAP sensor (manifold absolute pressure) In Mitsubishi models: fault in the control valve position sensor In Subaru models: fault in the initialization switch circuit In BMW models: MAF sensor input signal too high
